I say: This is a good chain of transmission. All of its narrators are trustworthy and are included among the narrators of al-Tahdhīb, although some of them have been subject to criticism—except for ʿAlī ibn ʿAbd al-Ṣamad, who was Abū al-Ḥasan al-Ṭayālisī, known as ʿAllān Māghimah. Al-Khaṭīb included his biography and said (12/28): “He was trustworthy. He died in the year 289 AH.”

Muḥammad ibn ʿAlī ibn Suhayl al-Ḥaṣīb also corroborated him, saying: Abū Hammām al-Walīd ibn Shujāʿ narrated to us—[reporting] it in abridged form. Al-Khaṭīb transmitted it (3/71–72) by way of Abū al-Fatḥ Muḥammad ibn al-Ḥusayn al-Azdī, from him, and said: “Al-Azdī said: This shaykh was not acceptable; he stole it. It is with ʿAlī ibn Aḥmad ibn al-Naḍr, and its original attribution to Shuʿbah is unsound; rather, it is from al-Ḥasan ibn ʿUmārah.”

I say: This is what al-Azdī said, but it is refuted by the corroboration of the trustworthy ʿAlī ibn ʿAbd al-Ṣamad for Muḥammad ibn ʿAlī ibn Suhayl al-Ḥaṣīb. Thus, the suspicion that he stole it is eliminated, and al-Azdī’s objection to it on the grounds of theft is dispelled—especially since al-Azdī himself has been criticized, despite his extensive memorization.

2282 — “The one who reclaims what he has given is like a dog that vomits and then eats its vomit. If the giver reclaims [his gift], he should be stopped, made aware of what he has reclaimed, and then given what he had bestowed.”

Abū Dāwūd (2/109) and Aḥmad (2/175) transmitted it from Usāmah ibn Zayd: ʿAmr ibn Shuʿayb narrated to him, from his father, from ʿAbd Allāh ibn ʿAmr, attributing it to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him.

I say: This is a good chain of transmission, based on the established assessment of ʿAmr ibn Shuʿayb’s narration from his father, from his grandfather. Usāmah ibn Zayd here is al-Laythī, their client, Abū Zayd; as for al-ʿAdawī, he is weak.
